Yesterday Artak Davtyan, the Member of Parliament, the Chairman of
the Standing Committee on Science, Education, Culture, Youth and Sport
of the National Assembly received Astghik Gevorgyan, the chairman of
the Armenian Union of Journalists, Levon Ananyan, the chairman of
the Armenian Union of Writers, Karen Aghamyan, the chairman of the
Armenian Union of Painters, Robert Amirkhanyan the chairman of the
Armenian Union of Composers, Mkrtich Minasyan the chairman of the
Armenian Architects, Rudolf Vatinyan the Secretary of the Armenian
Union of the Cinematographs and Sona Meloyan secretary of the Union
of the Armenian theater workers.

As the RA NA public relations department informs the Chairman of
the Standing Committee Artak Davtyan congratulated composer Robert
Amirkahnyan on his jubilee and wished him a fruitful work. He offered
the intellectuals of Armenia to present the problems concerning them
which, as was promised, were to be presented to the spokesman of the
NA Hovik Abrahamyan and possible solutions would be given.

Astghik Gevorgyan, the chairman of the Armenian Union of Journalists,
informed that lately the Government is circulating the changes made
in the RA "Law about the Public Organizations" and the RA Law project
of making additions where changes that are to be done there concern
the activities of the Arts Unions and cause anxiety.

The activity of the Armenian Art Unions is being regulated by the
"RA Law about the Public Organizations". Those who were present
considered some changes in the law offensive for their dignity.

As a result of the discussion the president of the Committee Artak
Davtyan has suggested to present distinct suggestions which will be
discussed in the NA corresponding committees and in parliamentary
audiences.

The chairman of the committee Artak Davtyan and the heads of the
Art Unions were of the same opinions that having a law about the Art
Unions and artists is necessary.
